Dear Parents/Carers,

I'm sure you are all aware of the death of a young lady in Croydon yesterday. She was stabbed to death on her way to school.

I'm sure you agree we all need to work together to stop our young people feeling that they need or want to carry a knife.

In school, we have lessons, conversations and assemblies on the topic. The School Police Officer also addresses students.

I have attached a leaflet from the Ben Kinsella Charity, that outlines how to have conversations as parents.

Please get in touch if we can help in any way.

Dear parent/carer,

We hope your daughter has enjoyed her first week at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls and that she has started to settle into secondary school life.  To support with this transition for you and your daughter, we would like to remind you of our Year 7 Information Evening on Thursday 21^st September from 5pm-6pm.

There will be a presentation from members of staff to clarify or relay important information to you as parents and carers, once this is finished we will be available to ask any individual questions you may have. Your daughter should attend with you where possible.

We are looking forward to seeing you all again,

Ms E Smith

Assistant Headteacher - Pastoral and Safeguarding

On Wednesday 6^th September we welcomed 10 facilitators in to deliver the Jack Petchey Spark Programme to our Year 10 cohort.

The Jack Petchey Spark Programme has been inspired by Sir Jack’s own go-getting approach to life and is designed to help students to cope successfully with pressures in and out of school, maintain their well-being, support their success at (and beyond) school, and to build their readiness and capabilities for the future. 

The workshop helps students to understand and experience how mindset affects our ability to be at our best, to achieve our goals and overcome problems, and our relationships with others. It gives young people helpful tools and insights to help them to be at their best more of the time, even when facing uncertainty, tricky challenges, and stressful situations, and to successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities that they encounter on their journey to adulthood.  

The workshop is delivered by BTS Spark facilitators experienced in working with young people.  All resources and guidance were provided, and students received their own handbook and programme certificate.

An amazing day full of activities, thought-provoking challenges and discussion, such a great way to start the school year for our Year 10 students.

It is with tremendous pride that Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, celebrates the success of the Class of 2023.

47% of our students received A* - B grades, with a significant number continuing their academic pathways at Russell Group universities, including Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Warwick amongst others.

Head of School, Mr Tom Lawrence states, "Our class of 2023 have done themselves proud and nearly all have achieved their first-place offers or high-end apprenticeships, securing an average grade that matches 2019 and 2022. We have many students again going to illustrious Russell Group universities. The results day itself has been a great day of rightful celebration for staff and students. All these enormous achievements have been made against a backdrop of significantly tougher marking, particularly at the top end."

This sentiment is shared by Mr Tim Plumb, CEO of PolyMAT, "After such hard work through challenging times, it was fantastic to see so many students with happy faces, being rewarded with progression to university and apprenticeships. This is why we all work so hard, to change lives and ensure ‘Success for Everyone’ that will last for many years to come." 

Ms Hannah Elliott, Head of Sixth Form, comments: “I am so proud of all our students here at Woolwich Poly. Each of them has shown resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Year on year, our results echo our school ethos of ‘Tomorrow's Leaders’ demonstrating the dedication and commitment of the students themselves, as well as our hardworking staff and supportive wider community. We look forward to seeing the future successes of our students as our Sixth Form expands next year to accommodate Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls.”
